Answer 1

A trade-off present in the US Constitution is illustrated by the following:

b) Pro-life protesters and abortion clinics disagree on the legality of buffer

zones dictating where protestors can stand.

Step-by-step explanation:

Certainly, pro-life protesters have the right to organize and stage protests as guaranteed by the Constitution, according to the First Amendment. At the same time, there is need to set a boundary or buffer zone for protests. These actions involve a trade-off or a balancing act between freedom of expression as guaranteed by the Constitution and the necessary restrictions imposed by private property rights.
